In the past I worked as a cabinetmaker, and we glued up lengths of lumber to make panels for various kinds of projects. One of the things I've wanted to do in traditional archery is make a Holmgaard style bow. It seems Idea to me that if I took a couple of pieces for a handle (a front and a back), a couple of wide flat pieces for the working parts of the limbs, and another couple of pieces for the non-working limb ends, that I should be able to glue them together and have a very reasonable bow blank that would take a minimum of hand work to complete.

Anyone here with past experience doing a project like this??

I'm a long time poster over on Tradgang. I learned to shoot the bow at Boy Scout summer camp when I was twelve (that would be forty eight years ago), and have been a life long traditional archer. For years and years I shot a Bear Kodiak Magnum until it was damaged in the move from New Mexico back to West Virginia. These days I'm shooting a Tomahawk Diamond TD.... 50# @ 28".

The Faribault MN Archery Club is holding the 1st annual Kyle Nardinger Memorial Traditional Only 3-D shoot this upcoming July 24-25th, 2010. This shoot is being held in memory of Kyle Nardinger who was killed this past July 9th by a dead fall tree while setting up for a club 3-D event. Kyle was 29 years old when the accident happened. Even at that young age he was a died in the wool traditional archer, starting at the age of 8. He was consumed with traditional archery – he made his own bows, arrows, fletching, strings, etc.. He shared his knowledge freely with those around him and helped many people experience the flight of the arrow, the outdoors and doing things the right way. Kyle was a positive role model to the youth in our club and they seemed to gravitate towards him.

The proceeds from this shoot are being put into our clubs Youth Education Scholarship fund. Also, all youth 17 and under shoot for FREE!!!

This event is being held at Ahlman’s Gun Shop 2 miles north of Morristown, MN. This site has an 1800’s fort and a cowboy town for added appeal while having numerous trails for us to use. We are planning many fun and exciting things with this shoot. Many of the shots came from some notes we found of Kyle’s on how he would have set a shoot up. We have several moving and pop-up targets, such as running deer, jumping carp, strutting turkey’s and others. We are planning to have aerial shooting on Saturday morning. Free primitive camping is available in the 1800 fort area. It is our hope that we will be able to set the shots up in a challenging way but also so you don’t lose and break arrows in the process. There will be 40+ targets (mostly Rinehart) with some novelty targets thrown in.

Many details are yet to be worked out, but we can assure you that this will be a great shoot and it’s for a great cause. If you could mark your calendars for July 24th-25th that would be great. Thanks – Brian Clausen

So far it has held together.
I am in the midst of making a similar bow from a cherry wood board that I got from a friend. Nice grain. It is 66" from nock to nock and two inches wide for most of the limb length.
The picture is with a small camera and about as good as I can do w/o a wide angle lens. [img][Image: CherryFlatbow.jpg][/img]

So far the limbs are bending evenly. Using the tillering stick and a scale, I have not been able - for fear of breaking the thing - to get close to my desired weight (I'd like to get 45/50 lbs at 28 inches).
I'm afraid that if I keep pressing, the bow will crack - though, so far it is even. I'm afraid that, if I take off more so as to make it bend more, I will weaken it.
Is this the bowyer's dilemma or is there a sensible and easy way?
Or....am I missing something. (have read through the Bowyer's Bible).
